Parkhurst was the son of Sir Robert Parkhurst and his wife Elizabeth Baker, daughter of Henry Baker.[1] He was admitted at Emmanuel College, Cambridge on 24 May 1647 and admitted at Inner Temple on 30 October 1648.[2]

Parkhurst married Sarah Gayer, daughter of Sir John Gayer of Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire. He inherited the estates including Pyrford on the death of his father in 1651[3]

In 1659 Parkhurst was elected member of parliament for Guildford in the Third Protectorate Parliament.[4] He was knighted on 9 June 1660.[5] His brother John was also an MP.[citation needed]
